Thank you, eema, and I do know where you're coming from. I guess my resistance is based on what I learned with my older gifted son - that once I "owned" and got involved in the process, he checked out and let it be me who was frustrated, worried, etc. I wanted to do it differently this time around so as not to do that to this one. But I'm thinking with the 2e, it probably isn't as black and white.
